When a user enters the AKDOT STIP Manager application for the first time, they will be met with a map view of their entire state. The PMG STIP Manager software centers around an Esri-based map whose beginning blank appearance gives room for personal queries. The map itself can be manipulated by many tools in order to obtain pertinent information.

Mouse Interactions

The mouse, whether attached to a laptop or an independent object, can be used to navigate the map. The user can utilize the mouse to zoom to an area of interest and perform further actions at this new distance. The user can use the mouse in these ways:

Mouse Action	Used To...
Pan	Click, hold, and drag the map to re-center.
Trackwheel Zoom	Zoom in by rolling the mouse wheel forward and zoom out by rolling the mouse wheel backward.
Touchpad Zoom	Zoom in by spreading fingers on the touchpad and zoom out by closing fingers.
button	Zoom in by clicking this button beside the Legend.
button	Zoom out by clicking this button beside the Legend.

Map Controls

The Map Controls offered under "Map" also alter the original map display of AK STIP Manager by allowing the user to zoom to an area/query of interest, view feature and route information, and change the look of the application.
